Dear [[DisplayName]],  

Thank you for entering the Brand Union's Centre Stage. The online voting process will begin on the 26th July 2008 and end on 02nd August 2008.  Keep checking the website for the online votes – the top 8 bands will go through to the finals.  Each band will have the opportunity to play in The Harlequin on a Saturday during August 08.

The Centre Stage finale takes place at The Harlequin, Watford on 04th September 2008. Each of the entrants will be critiqued by our panel of experts from the music industry, selecting two finalists to go to the public vote, the winner being decided by an audience text vote. The winners will receive 1 full day recording plus 2 hours rehearsal time at The Sanctuary recording studio in Watford, £300 worth of music equipment from Hooters at The Harlequin, airtime on Mercury 96.6FM and a live performance at the Harlequin Christmas event in November 2008.

Don't forget to get your friends, family and fans to vote for your band online and to keep logging on to check your progress.

Good Luck!

The Brand Union Team
